1985 - 1988

The initial search results confirm that the Feeling 960 was designed by Harlé-Mortain and built by Kirié between 1985/1986 and 1988. It was also sold as the Elite 324 in the US and Canada. The boat was offered in multiple keel variations: deep bulb keel, shallow draft (fin), and keel/centerboard. Some results discuss performance ratios and give general information about accommodations (2 cabins, 6 berths, 1 head). There are also mentions of solid wood interior and GRP construction.

I have enough information to start drafting the article, calculating the ratios and interpreting them, and describing the general layout. I will need to synthesize owner perspectives from the available snippets and ensure I don't list raw data.

Confidence Score: 5/5 - I have enough information from the provided context and the search results to generate a comprehensive article following all instructions.

Strategizing complete. I will now proceed with generating the article.
